Actually, I just walked over to Nintendo of America* and stole a Revolution in prototype. Apparantly the WIFI of the DS works as a controller. Just plug in DS game into an attachment for the Revolution, then a special cartridge into the DS. BAM! DS on your TV!

Heh, I wish. This game might even be more breakable than Aria was.
Lik-sang says there's a psp-to-tv output device in the works (not just a camcorder), so a DS version can't be too far off, right?...

Bad reasoning. As far as anybody knows, getting DS video requires opening the case and jacking output cables into it - not something you can do for fun. There's no devices on the radar for this, and I doubt there will be anytime soon.
I still think the idea I proposed (the DS being a wireless controller, not the stealing idea) is what's gonna happen on the revolution. If I had any money, I'd bet some on that. We already know that the revolution is gonna support wireless controllers, and the DS works wirelessly, so let's put 2 and 2 together?
I don't know how likely any sort of DS Player would be. The whole purpose of the GB Player was so you could play portable games at home, but look at a larger screen. This would not apply to DS for two reasons - 1. There's two screens that would need to be displayed, which would mean they would have to be rather small to both fit on TV at once. 2. Almost all DS games incorporate the stylus/touch screen in some way, which requires you to look at the DS itself... defeating the purpose. The GB Player was not designed to be a method to easily record GB games, that's just a nice beneift. Being able to record DS games would practically be the only purpose for a DS Player, so I doubt it has as large a market.
Sir VG might be right about the DS being used as a wireless controller, but that doesn't necessarily mean you would be able to play your DS games on TV.
Well...this may be one of the only times in history that the TAS folk are able to beat the original hardware folk to market. But for the Rev....TAS has QUITE a mountian to climb.
The only way I can think of a record working would be a piece of hardware that duplicates one or the other screen...with a possibility of both being displayed at once in some cases. Basically, whatever you did on your DS would the be mimicked in what happens on the screen of focus or both screens displayed on the TV. I simply can't picture anything else working any other way unless the Revolution has some sort of unique way of handling it.
